BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> "oh, these big ducks, fixing me the best worm yet!!" << Nice predator instincts

BingoBoingo: Duckling is best baby easter animal. Much better than fucking rabbits. ☟︎

BingoBoingo: Maybe a gossling would be the step up, but when it's a 10 kg goose likely to die at your hand for insufficient adorability to aggress in the manner of geese ☟︎

BingoBoingo: In local news the bomb squad is doing something in the barrio Goes

BingoBoingo: ;tldr Guy holed himself up, wounded two cops, cops wounded his legs and took him

diana_coman: ugh, asciilifeform I can't seem to be able to comment on your blog? (and fwiw it's also a pain because it won't work with ip in hosts only, I have to access it from toilet-pc)

diana_coman: when I say I can't comment I mean it barfs with "incorrect captcha" while the captcha thing says it's shut down so no word to enter ☟︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-23#1874262 << yeah. for one thing, they attach ~something fierce~. possibly the most attachment-inclined living thing. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: for incomprehensible reasons, chimichurri ~loves~ toilet paper. it'll stuff its craw with the stuff, if you hold a square up for it, shred it and pack it like there's no tomorrow. (and then its squeak changes, too, cuz obviously that thing dries out its liquids lmao). so now and again friendly folk might offer it a square. (gotta be the right, fluffy stuff i use tho).

mircea_popescu: so now one day at the beach, when left behind with a girl because its mistress had... well, was busy ok, it wouldn't even eat the most delicious tp! NOT SAFE TO EAT TREATS WITHOUT BELOVED MISTRESS!

mircea_popescu: but w/e, anything but install mp-wp, play eulora, etcetera. GOTTA LONEMAN OF INSANITY ☟︎

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Looks like your MPEx proxies might have run away again

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo meanwhile if you set 91.218.246.56 you can talk to it.

mircea_popescu: (really should NOT "dns request" for mpex servers plox. or ~anything, really, but these especially. hosts file costs you nothing folks, wake up to this already. usg.dns costs you not merely your own life, but everyone else's along with it, as well as the very possibility of a world worth living)

deedbot: ascii_modem voiced for 30 minutes.

ascii_modem: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-22#1874249 << what size e now ? ( i'll add, smaller e is proportionally faster modexp in my system, but only if you were to know its size in advance ) ☝︎☟︎

a111: Logged on 2018-11-22 21:57 mircea_popescu: in other related matters : i'm authorizing her to add a patch on s.mg crypto lib, to permit arbitrary size e. i recall the threads at the time, but there's a ~really~ good reason to do it : we don't want to pass back and forth kbs worth of exponents. udp packets are small, and there's all the complicated matchwork of sizes meeting keys etc.

ascii_modem: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-22#1874255 << why wouldja bake unixisms into protocol if dun have to ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2018-11-22 22:00 mircea_popescu: the data is structured anyway for the program, there's no absolute requirement to ship it with storage adnotations.

BingoBoingo: <ascii_modem> or banking that nobody can be arsed? or how. << Likely banking on that, no one with a subscription bothering

mircea_popescu: in other lulz, can you believe what an adventure this has been lmao.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-01#1868250 << ~one month~ remittance, as the earliest ? fugger had it better for fuck's sake, "the world" has fallen below 1600s civilisational level ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-23#1874309 << "At 5.1 the public exponent e of the client's RSA key is fixed as an int64". first bit set, too, so 8 bytes. ☝︎
